List of Polytechnics Offering Mechanical and Metallurgical Engineering in Nigeria, Jamb UTME and O'level Requirements

 
This field blends the principles of mechanical systems with the science of materials, making it perfect for students who want to work in industries like manufacturing, construction, automotive, aerospace, and even energy. But before jumping into the workshop or lab, you need to get your academic foundations right—starting with choosing the right school and meeting the admission requirements. In this blog, we’ll break down everything you need to begin your journey in Mechanical and Metallurgical Engineering, including: A list of polytechnics in Nigeria offering the course (or closely related programs), The correct JAMB subject combination, and The O'Level (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) requirements needed for admission.

##What is Mechanical and Metallurgical Engineering Course?
Mechanical Engineering focuses on the design, analysis, and manufacture of mechanical systems and machines, applying physics and math principles to create tangible tools and devices. Metallurgical Engineering, on the other hand, deals with the science and production of metals, including their extraction from ores, refinement, and development of alloys, focusing on the relationship between a metal's structure, properties, and processing.
